[Alouette]

if I am alive to see something like this happen, I will not give this person one ounce of creedence until the 7 yr tribulation is over.

I'm not sure what this "7 yr tribulation" thing is, since I am not familiar with the book of Revelation or the "Left Behind" books, but there is certainly nothing wrong with maintaining healthy skepticism until your heart has no doubts left.

The Jewish eschatology is derived from the Prophets and not from the book of Revelation. But a G-D of love and justice would not punish people who are "tricked by Satan" into keeping the commandments of the Bible.

Furthermore, humans are endowed with free will. This means that "Satan" can't force you to do anything against your will.

Good Morning Alouette,
Having coffee and speaking of G-d first thing in the morning is a "Great Thing")

But a G-D of love and justice would not punish people who are "tricked by Satan" into keeping the commandments of the Bible.

"Okay let me ask you this based upon your above statement"

No man has had an impact on the world other than G-d himself as Jesus Christ has. Billions and Billions of people have worshipped him as the "Son of G-d" starting with the earliest of "Christians" The Jews as in the writers of the "Apostles" If everyone is wrong about "Jesus" than Billions of people have been "tricked"
both dead and alive.

A loving G-d would allow something as this massive as the worshipping of Jesus Christ to happen to people he created and love? Does that makes sense to you?

Unfortunalty, many people as we both see are very very weak that is why we have an abundance of moral decay.

Homosexuality
Adulterous Affairs
Sex out of wedlock
Disrepectful Children
Drug Abuse
Of course we can go on and on. I don't know one person in my life who does not continually have weak sinful moments.

One thing that does concern me as one of my best friends in the world who is Jewish has gotten more religious as she has gotten older like most people do has a daughter 18 she has sent her to synagogue, Hebrew School everything she can and the girl is out of control, so now it's "SCIENTOLOGY" yes I would say "Satan" can deceive.
